A board on which times, performances or other statistics of the best players or performers of a team are registered.

DEF

Surface plane au mur pour inscription de temps, d'exploits ou d'autres statistiques propres aux membres d'une même équipe; le cumul des données fournit une image complète du rendement de chacun.

OBS

En contexte, on dit «tableau des performances (des joueurs de l'équipe)». C'est commettre un anglicisme que d'utiliser «tableau de la profondeur d'une équipe», le terme «profondeur» n'ayant pas le sens de «performance» en français.

Key term(s)
  • tableau de la profondeur d'une équipe
